thebitterguyWent shopping with Snra. Bitter. Helped her do some of her Report grade calculation. It went okay. In fact, this has been the calmest report card in our history.
Missed meeting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adamjury's ladyfriend Sam, as I couldn't make it into Guelph due to the aforementioned mark calculations. I did sneak out about 8'ish to head to my cousin Sheriff's birthday party. Enjoyed it. Ate cake.
Amusingly enough, while speaking to Sheriff, he mentioned he envied my owning an Xbox (he owns a PS/2) because I can play Halo. I had just finished envying his PS/2 because he could play GTA:VC. It's amusing.
Sunday Cindy went to play Buffy on the XBox and noticed that we hadn't reutnred Indiana Jones. Fuck. It wouldn't have been so bad if, for example, we'd actually gotten to play it in the intervening days instead of accumulating late fees at random.
At least the nice man at Blockbuster was kind enough to cut them in half. That is SO going in to the tax envelope.
I have taken to playing Halo in the past couple days. Apparently they drop off an ATV for me to ride in at the level I was annoyed at. Here I thought my mission was to just stay there and get shot at for hours on end.

And if you think the buggy is fun, wait until you get the hoverbikes. And, oh sweet lord Jesus, the tank.

So far. I just got the rifle.

Date: 2003-03-18 08:59 pm (UTC)I know, you haven't found the RL yet. Well, like the pistol, it only has x2 zoom and it can be hard to aim at long ranges. And sometimes you really need to hide at the other end of a chasm and take out a shitload of bastards.
The trick? Line up a shot with the sniper rifle on x10 zoom. Get the crosshairs exactly where you want 'em. Now switch to rocket launcher - and your shot will stay lined up. Fire the RL and the rocket will go to exactly the right place.
Trust me, it really helps.
